The movie was praised not just by professional critics but by many Holocaust survivors. In actuality, there were several lists, and the names of people cleared for reassignment to Schindler’s workshop was written by a Plaszów camp orderly named Marcel Goldberg, not Schindler, though this did not detract from the movie’s powerful effect. Liam Neeson portrays Oskar Schindler – a real-life industrialist who is known to have saved over 1,000 Jews by employing them at his armaments plant in Brünnlitz, Czechoslovakia. One of the most memorable movies of the 1990s was this adaptation of a 1982 novel based on a true story from World War II – which broke new ground as the first movie blockbuster to tackle the horrors of the Holocaust. It is a gritty and unromantic movie about the real world of organized crime that delivers plenty of thrills and classic movie moments. This was the biggest cash robbery that had ever been committed in America at the time.
Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro portrayed their characters in the film, which also depicted the infamous 1978 Lufthansa theft at JFK Airport that Burke may have organized.
